Does Truth Even Matter Anymore? (Free Event)

Are we facing a crisis of truthfulness?

Given our unique and diverse experiences and perspectives, is it still possible to reach a collective understanding of what is “true” and to form a basis for determining truth? And how can we actively seek and recognize what is true, beyond just relying on conventional wisdom, tradition, superstition, or our personal beliefs?

Truth is an anchor to reality, rooting us amid chaos and providing direction for a path forward. However, while access to information has increased significantly, it appears to be growing increasingly difficult to distinguish facts from opinions or falsehoods. Far beyond being a problem in politics, it appears to permeate almost every aspect of our society and culture. Could our ability to discern truth depend in part on certain spiritual qualities like humility and detachment complementing our senses, our mind, and intellectual training? What is the relationship of truth to justice? Are there tools that can help us seek and find the truth not only as individuals but collectively as a society?

Join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the spiritual solutions to seeking the truth. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how to apply spiritual principles of finding collective truth to benefit our lives and our communities.

“Truth has many aspects, but it remains always and forever one.” – Bahá’í Teachings
